Located at the corner of Holly Street and East 60th Avenue, thousands of people drive past Pioneer Park and hundreds use the park’s amenities daily. This 37-acre community park was built in three phases from 2003 to 2015.

The Art Selection Committee is interested in one or a series of sculptures that will be situated along the meandering path on the north side of the park along East 60th Avenue between Monaco Street to the east and Holly Street to the west, and to the south of the path in the grassy areas and to the north of the ball fields.
